The United Nations chief has issued an urgent appeal to protect the planet ahead of the New Year, warning that “chaos and uncertainty” surrounds us.
Secretary-General António Guterres warned that “one fact speaks louder than words” as he revealed that global military spending soared to a staggering $2.7 trillion (around €2.3 trillion) last year. As humanitarian crises and political tensions continue to intensify, this cost is projected to more than double, hitting $6.6 trillion (€5.63 trillion) by 2035.
